The magic of Disney

Last winter we had the amazing opportunity to go to Disney World! We had a blast and couldn't pick just one favorite thing. We enjoyed everything.

Magic Kingdom

EPCOT

Hollywood Studios

Tower of Terror

Tim and Susan loved Tower of Terror. They rode it twice! Same with Rockin' Roller Coaster.

Being a Star Wars family, we enjoyed all the Star Wars attractions at Hollywood Studios. 

Animal Kingdom

Amazing breakfast at Tusker House

Expedition Everest

Bug's Life

Character Meetings

We were fortunate to have a few private character meetings.

We are already wishfully planning our next visit!

Middle School Band

Another fun thing about fall is going to parades. Tim and Matt had to march in several with the middle school band.

Penn State Fun

 We were able to enjoy several Penn State games as a whole family this Fall. It was Katelyn's first time attending a "real" game, and she loved it. Her enthusiasm shocked us!

One of the highlights of the season was meeting Carl Nassib after the final home game. A beast on the field, and gentleman off!

First day of school!

Summer vacation goes faster and faster every year! After a lot of baseball games, including weekends away for tournaments as well as regular and post-season play, swimming at the Hummelstown Pool, riding bikes and playing whiffle ball with neighbors, it is finally time for school to start..... a sad time for all of us here.

I was able to get all the necessary pictures on the first morning of school. Not too many tears were shed.  I will say after two weeks of school I am ready for summer vacation again already!

Here's to a great year, kiddos!

Summer 2015

Enjoy a few pictures from our summer!

 In early June Tim went with the Mid Penn Prospect 12U baseball team for a week to All Star Village in Cooperstown New York. He had an amazing experience!  Later in the summer our Mudcat baseball team went for the weekend to a different part of Cooperstown. It was fun for the entire family.

Katie had fun scooting all over the neighborhood this summer.  Before school started she even taught herself to ride a 2-wheeler!


 Additionally she concurred her fear of the slide and the low dive at the Hummelstown Pool!

 Matt ran his first 5K this summer and this was a fun one! It was the Color Vibe run on 8/15/15.  He brought a friend with him and the two had a blast! I didn't see them until the finish line.

California FUN!

This summer we enjoyed spending our vacation in Southern California visiting family.  The kids had a blast with their only cousins, and we spent a ton of time swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool.

 While in CA we visited the San Diego zoo - one of our very favorite zoos. The weather was perfect and the animals were active. It was a great day!

We enjoyed a very nice dinner at The Victoria Club overlooking the golf course. Katelyn loved the "fancy dinner!"
